Eric J.写的代码很潦草(很明显这是6年前写的……他今天可能不会写那个代码)，甚至还有一些问题。

与目前提出的一些替代方案不同，这个方案在密码学上是合理的。

不真实的…在密码中有一个偏差(正如在注释中所写的那样)，bcdefgh比其他的更有可能(a不是，因为通过GetNonZeroBytes，它不会生成值为0的字节，因此a的偏差由它平衡)，所以它在密码学上并不可靠。

这应该可以纠正所有的问题。

public static string GetUniqueKey(int size = 6, string chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890")
{
    using (var crypto = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider())
    {
        var data = new byte[size];

        // If chars.Length isn't a power of 2 then there is a bias if
        // we simply use the modulus operator. The first characters of
        // chars will be more probable than the last ones.

        // buffer used if we encounter an unusable random byte. We will
        // regenerate it in this buffer
        byte[] smallBuffer = null;

        // Maximum random number that can be used without introducing a
        // bias
        int maxRandom = byte.MaxValue - ((byte.MaxValue + 1) % chars.Length);

        crypto.GetBytes(data);

        var result = new char[size];

        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
        {
            byte v = data[i];

            while (v > maxRandom)
            {
                if (smallBuffer == null)
                {
                    smallBuffer = new byte[1];
                }

                crypto.GetBytes(smallBuffer);
                v = smallBuffer[0];
            }

            result[i] = chars[v % chars.Length];
        }

        return new string(result);
    }
}

我听说LINQ是新的黑色，所以下面是我使用LINQ的尝试:

private static Random random = new Random();

public static string RandomString(int length)
{
    const string chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";
    return new string(Enumerable.Repeat(chars, length)
        .Select(s => s[random.Next(s.Length)]).ToArray());
}

(注意:Random类的使用使得它不适用于任何与安全性相关的事情，比如创建密码或令牌。如果你需要强随机数生成器，请使用RNGCryptoServiceProvider类。)

我知道这不是最好的办法。但是你可以试试这个。

string str = Path.GetRandomFileName(); //This method returns a random file name of 11 characters
str = str.Replace(".","");
Console.WriteLine("Random string: " + str);

在这个线程中只是一些不同答案的性能比较:

方法与设置

// what's available
public static string possibleChars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
// optimized (?) what's available
public static char[] possibleCharsArray = possibleChars.ToCharArray();
// optimized (precalculated) count
public static int possibleCharsAvailable = possibleChars.Length;
// shared randomization thingy
public static Random random = new Random();


// http://stackoverflow.com/a/1344242/1037948
public string LinqIsTheNewBlack(int num) {
    return new string(
    Enumerable.Repeat(possibleCharsArray, num)
              .Select(s => s[random.Next(s.Length)])
              .ToArray());
}

// http://stackoverflow.com/a/1344258/1037948
public string ForLoop(int num) {
    var result = new char[num];
    while(num-- > 0) {
        result[num] = possibleCharsArray[random.Next(possibleCharsAvailable)];
    }
    return new string(result);
}

public string ForLoopNonOptimized(int num) {
    var result = new char[num];
    while(num-- > 0) {
        result[num] = possibleChars[random.Next(possibleChars.Length)];
    }
    return new string(result);
}

public string Repeat(int num) {
    return new string(new char[num].Select(o => possibleCharsArray[random.Next(possibleCharsAvailable)]).ToArray());
}

// http://stackoverflow.com/a/1518495/1037948
public string GenerateRandomString(int num) {
  var rBytes = new byte[num];
  random.NextBytes(rBytes);
  var rName = new char[num];
  while(num-- > 0)
    rName[num] = possibleCharsArray[rBytes[num] % possibleCharsAvailable];
  return new string(rName);
}

//SecureFastRandom - or SolidSwiftRandom
static string GenerateRandomString(int Length) //Configurable output string length
{
    byte[] rBytes = new byte[Length]; 
    char[] rName = new char[Length];
    SolidSwiftRandom.GetNextBytesWithMax(rBytes, biasZone);
    for (var i = 0; i < Length; i++)
    {
        rName[i] = charSet[rBytes[i] % charSet.Length];
    }
    return new string(rName);
}

结果

在LinqPad中测试。对于长度为10的字符串，生成:

from Linq = chdgmevhcy [10] from Loop = gtnoaryhxr [10] from Select = rsndbztyby [10] from GenerateRandomString = owyefjjakj [10] from securefastrrandom = VzougLYHYP [10] from securefastrrandom - nocache = oVQXNGmO1S [10]

性能数据会有细微的变化，偶尔NonOptimized会更快，有时ForLoop和GenerateRandomString会切换谁领先。

LinqIsTheNewBlack (10000x) = 96762 ticks elapsed (9.6762 ms) ForLoop (10000x) = 28970滴答流逝(2.897毫秒) ForLoopNonOptimized (10000x) = 33336滴答流逝(3.3336毫秒) 重复(10000x) = 78547滴答流逝(7.8547毫秒) GenerateRandomString (10000x) = 27416 tick elapsed (2.7416 ms) securefastrrandom (10000x) = 13176滴答流逝(5ms)最低[不同的机器] securefastrrandom - nocache (10000x) = 39541 ticks elapsed (17ms) low[不同的机器]

 public static string RandomString(int length)
    {
        const string chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
        var random = new Random();
        return new string(Enumerable.Repeat(chars, length).Select(s => s[random.Next(s.Length)]).ToArray());
    }

var chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
var stringChars = new char[8];
var random = new Random();

for (int i = 0; i < stringChars.Length; i++)
{
    stringChars[i] = chars[random.Next(chars.Length)];
}

var finalString = new String(stringChars);

不如Linq解决方案优雅。
